Scientists have discovered hundreds of new weak points in cars - and it's not a matter of mechanics: hackers can remotely "turn off" the brakes in cars. "Scientists from Sweden have discovered hundreds of vulnerabilities in the software of modern cars. They analyzed 413 known issues and found that 36.2% of them were related to third-party applications and online services. In addition, the researchers examined 20 software projects and identified 827 vulnerable libraries. Such flaws could allow attackers to gain sufficient access to the personal systems, and if their owners could not access their personal data. may gain access to vehicle control functions. Experts recommend that car manufacturers strengthen software security and separate car control systems, multimedia and external connections so that hacking into one of them does not open access to others. Car owners are advised to update software regularly, use strong passwords and check which apps have access to their personal data. At the same time, scientists emphasize that the discovery of a vulnerability does not mean that the car can be hacked remotely."
